Safety Alert Poster to Help Prevent Miner Fatalities

Within the last 4 days in October 2011, the mining industry experienced four deaths. As a reminder of best practices and the importance of staying focused on preventing fatalities, MSHA is distributing a safety alert poster, along with its 2011 third quarter fatality update. The poster contains a checklist of best practices and reminds operators, miners and contractors of the recent fatalities in hopes that each worker will strive to ensure worker safety.
